About

RSVP Volunteer Caregivers are needed in Trempealeau and Buffalo County to provide practical assistance to people in their own communities -- a simple concept, which is taking hold across the state and across the country. Many older adults and disabled individuals who want to remain independent and at home are not able to do so simply because they cannot manage basic day to day tasks. Things like driving, grocery shopping, errands, household chores, and yard chores are beyond the scope of their physical capabilities. Loneliness is a common problem. Because Western Wisconsin is largely rural and because families have a tendency to move away, many elderly people are isolated. Add to that the fact that many older and disabled individuals can no longer drive, and the problem is magnified.

Western Dairyland's RSVP Volunteer Caregivers Program connects adults age 55 and over with meaningful volunteer service in communities throughout Trempealeau county. The opportunity posted above is just one of hundreds of opportunities!

Please see our current care receiver requests and their locations below:

We will work with your schedule to set up flexible visits. Visit vary in length and maybe 1-2 visit a month or 1-2 visits a week at a care receivers home. Please call the Western Dairyland RSVP Volunteer Program office at 1-800-782-1063 ext. 1205 for more information.
